electronics equiment

[SparkySamZa]

so for uni I want to invest in new equipment because I need to be able to do work at home, this mean I to get my hands on:

• Soldering iron (variable and hopefully higher wattage)
• Brass sponge for cleaning the soldering iron
• Oscilloscope (digital and pico scope)
• Heat shrink
• Heat Gun
• breadboard
• Multi Meter 

in the UK ONLY!

soldering iron needs to be quite small enough for precision work.

 

thanks

You can also think of investing in a multimeter. Almost a must since you will be working with electronics.

I recently-ish bought a Fluke 115. Not really a cheap multimeter, but quality of it is great.

 

You could probably get away with a £50 multimeter.

 

Edit: Here are two that should more than suffice.

I would also look for a lamp that has a lense for magnification. It can really help for fine work or for close inspection when something isnt working.
